Artesian Well in Americus Faces Council Dilemma
Mr. Brush, head of the artesian well contract, arrived to report six inch casing risks. He proposes 44 inch casing to continue boring but Council splits on whether the contract requires six inch only. A water stream was found at 600 to 700 feet, rising near the surface, possibly linked to Albany and Montezuma wells. If no surface stream, a lower boring point with hydraulic lift might reach the required elevation.
